On Board

You'll revel in the space, privacy and fine appointments of our ships An onboard experience like no other.

When you create a new category, you must lead it. And, Silversea consistently sets the standards in ultra-luxury travel.

Giving our guests space and privacy is a priority. Our ships are like intimate and exclusive resorts. When you retreat to your suite, you'll revel in the space, privacy and fine appointments. More than 75% of our suites have private teak verandas where you can watch the world go by. Crisp Frette bed linens, plush bathrobes, Bvlgari toiletries and personalized stationary; nothing has been overlooked. Intimate public rooms on our ships are conducive to meeting your fellow guests. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, much like that of a fine private home.

Is it any wonder then, that year after year, Silversea receives the highest awards from authoritative guidebooks and prestigious publications on both sides of the Atlantic? For 2000 alone, Silversea has been named number one in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards, judged "World's Best Small Ship Cruise Line" by Travel + Leisure, and recognized as "Best Cruise Operator" by the United Kingdom's Daily Telegraph.

And while these awards reaffirm our commitment to providing an onboard experience that knows no rival, our greatest reward comes from our guests, who return to us again and again.
